                    In New York City, there are eight million cats and eleven million dogs. New York City is basically just concrete and steel, so when your pet dies, you can’t just go out in the back yard and bury it. The city would dispose of your dead pet, but charged $50 
So one lady had this great thought: I can

                    THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.
In his book, Your God is Too Small, J. B. Phillips describes some of the common gods that people manufacture. One is the grand old man god, the grandfatherly, white-haired, indulgent god who smiles down on men and winks at their adultery, stealing,

                    DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE
The Declaration itself laid the groundwork for our freedom as a Nation:
And that declaration was to be based upon the nation’s faith in God.
It was quite literally a declaration of “Dependence upon God.”
In the first two sentences of the Declaration of Independence -

                    A burglar broke into a house and began to steal all of the valuable.  At that moment he heard a voice that said Jesus is watching you.  He was so scared he froze for a second.  He regained his composure and started stealing again, when the voice came louder Jesus is watching you.  He just about

                    The Pharisees and teachers of the law competed with one another in strictness.  They had atomized God’s law into 613 rules and bolstered these with 1,521 emendations (Yancey 132).  
We can see the length to which this went from the following facts.  For many generations the Scribal Law was never

                    Strange for us to think of idolatry as being something in the modern world but consider this:
•	There are actually people who worship crawling creatures:  In a museum in Egypt there is a monument to the scarob beetle.  
•	The philistines actually worshiped flies.  Hindus today won’t swat a fly
